Tin Whiskers/ Oliphant Melon, She Wrote


Tin Whiskers/ Oliphant Melon, She Wrote. A collaboration fruit ale with watermelon, lime, prickly pear, avocado blossom honey, & pink Himalayan sea salt. 

4.8 % ABV, 11 IBU, Tin Whiskers Brewing, St. Paul, MN, in collaboration with Oliphant Brewing, Somerset, WI. 

Clear, bright golden color, large and lasting, lace-leaving ivory head. 

In the nose: First hits the sour, then the honey, the lime, then the salt, and all the while we think, oh, yeah...melon! Just enough sweet for the tart. 

In the mouth: Tartness at the start, with lime following suit. Light bodied, crisp, refreshing, fresh, zesty, and sour. Watermelon, lime and salt come together as one. Refreshingly fruity and sour. Okay, I like this. 

Brewed with Oliphant Brewing. Fruit Ale with Watermelon, Lime, Prickly Pear, Avocado Blossom Honey, & Pink Himalayan Sea Salt. 

Yeah, I already said that...
